Let me take a moment to share with you a project i would love to devote years of my life too. "The Forgotten Order" is a fantasy comic that I have several chapters written out for and countless sketch books full of ideas. Unfortunately it always gets thrown to the side when school starts, but 3 years since its inception and i still always return to it.
Anyways, here is a sample of some of the panel work. The comic has 2 styles- a dreamy patterned astral world and a more representational waking world done in thick pencil outlines. When im outta school this blog will probably showcase way more work from this thing.
"My true love went riding out in white and green and grey
Past the pale of Offa's Wall where she was wont to stray
And there she came upon a white and wounded fawn
Singing oh, the hazards of love
She being full of charity, a credit to her sex
Sought to right the fawn's hind legs
When here her plans were vexed
The Taiga shifted strange
The beast began to change
Singing oh, the hazards of love
Singing oh, the hazards of love
You'll learn soon enough
The prettiest whistles won't wrestle the thistles undone
Undone"
The Decemberists, Hazards of Love Album
I wanted this piece to feel more like a storybook. Maybe i should make more things like this =)
Our BFA project this semester focuses on the old timey sport of Board track racing. Its been fun researching on motorcycles and the 1920s. This is just some color sketches of characters.
My current project, is a fun action adventure and puzzle game designed to be played through a social site or on a small hand held device (like a phone). Its about a steam punk Archaeologist and her trusted rifle man who enter dangerous lands to seek out ancient ruins for study (and treasure). What secrets will they find? I dont know, but one thing is for sure- there will be a lot of wild critters and angry ghosts waiting for them =)
Expect more prop pages and accessories. How i love to draw cute little things!
Another internship on a summer short film, this time I did background painting, some color comps, and visual development. I was also the official blood painter for some reason (lots of cute animals suffer horrific deaths in the animation). The film isn't available to view for a little while because it will be entered into festivals.
A time lapse video of me creating a punch needle embroidery from start to finish. Approx time about 3 and a half hours. The patch i made is the logo of my animation/illustration club, the shrunkenheadman!
